Hello.

I do lots of crossword puzzles but never these letter jumble puzzles.
I will try to give a few answers to them for fun.

Use the following letters once to compose other words:

A U T U M N L E A V E S

another word for borrowed = LENT
another word for man = MALE
do a crime = STEAL
a part of your shirt = SEAM (?)

J A C K - O' - L A N T E R N

a vegetable = CORN (usa)
another word for rip = TEAR
a wooden box = CRATE
put your back against something = LEAN (yes, i think so too)

H A U N T E D H O U S E
a short fast run = DASH

Maj · Answer

Hey, that's great. Anymore?

Trellis · Answer

Maj (or anyone else who is interested),

We can play Scrabble© at Yahoo Games if you like.

I guess they call it "Literati" at Yahoo games for copyright reasons?

Just let me know if you want to try it.

Elena · Answer

Yes, interested in playing.
How?

Trellis · Answer

Hi Elena,

To play Yahoo online games you need to create a free account at Yahoo.
Maybe you already have one?

If you already have any sort of Yahoo account like for Yahoo groups, email or Y! IM,
then that user name and password will be ok to log on to Yahoo games.

If not, you can do it here:

[url="http://games.yahoo.com/"]/[/url]

or here:

[url="/"]/[/url]

Then, the Scrabble/Literati word game is here:

[url="http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=lt&cat=beginner"][/url]

I am going offline for the day now but I arrive here most days
usually about six hours earlier than the time now
and I will be happy to play some scrabble with you.

It is also possible to go to game rooms and find someone for a game.

Maj · Answer

Trellis, whenever you are on line at the same as me and you want to play, I'll be glad to play with you.

Trellis · Answer

Hi Elena,

You got it all sorted out at Yahoo games now?
You played a game of Literati with someone?

YAY!!

Good.

I am often not online so I will say that there are always many people who want to find someone to play a game with there at the Yahoo games site. They are from everywhere all over the world and they are at every skill level of playing the game and of english knowledge.

So, if you look around you should be able to find a well matched game partner to have many games with for fun and for improving english skills. The real time text chat there is very helpful too.

What do you think? Will this Literati (scrabble) game be helpful for increasing english word skills? I have played it many times with my friend from Finland and she finds it fun and helpful. Especially as we always discuss the meanings of any new words that get used in the game.

I am here online now and will be here for the next 8 hours or so. Let me know if you want to try a game of Literati. Add me to ICQ or AIM or Y! (info at my profile page) and instant message me if you like. If you send me a message here I may not see if for a while because I do not check these messages often and this site is not sending replies I get here to me in email. I wish that could get fixed but I do not know who to tell about this problem.

I am not a competitive game player. I just enjoy games for the fun of it and I am never in any hurry for the other person to make their move. So don't worry about playing Literati with a native english speaker. I enjoy gaming as a friendly social event. Not as a way to win anything.

See you later maybe,

( Maj, I am posting this as a reply to my own message because it would not post it as a reply to you)

Hello Maj.

I am here now sipping strong, hot coffee and yawning a bit. (c)
It is 4:04am east coast USA time.

I wake and start my day hours before sunrise every day
so I can have some quiet time while the world around me sleeps.

Do you already have an account at yahoo games?
Have you been to the games site and had a look at it?

I will be happy to try playing a game with you anytime you feel like it.
Just let me know.

I will be here online for the next 6 to 10 hours.
So we have lots of time to try it.

A game usually lasts 45 to 90 minutes
depending on how much text chat is happening.

IM me in one of the 3 instant messaging programs if you like.
Or, I will check back here to see if you reply about playing a game.

It would be easier to arrange a time and place to meet for a game in IM
because there are many different rooms at Yahoo Literati.

I usually try to select a room with the fewest people in it
because they seem to run more smoothly that way.

I hope this will not become too complicated.

Please read the long post I just sent to Elena
about Yahoo games and Literati for more details.

See you for a game later, maybe!!
